National Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau (Israel Beiteinu) dedicated the first Israeli concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system to be hooked up to the national grid in Arad on Thursday.
The system was designed by the MST solar energy company, which was founded by Dov Raviv – the father of the Arrow missile system.
Raviv turned his eye toward renewable energy in 2002 by forming Rehovot-based MST. Over the last eight years, he and his team developed a CPV system built on a tracker – a platform that tracks the sun’s path across the sky. The 50KW system has an efficiency rate of 24.5 percent in field conditions, he said during Thursday’s ceremony – higher than regular photovoltaic silicon
solar panels.
